Jennifer Grey has revealed that “bad anxiety” prevented her from reprising her role in “Friends,” as she opened up about her time on the show. Although she was initially excited, as “a fan of the show,” Grey told website MediaVillage that when it came to shooting her scenes, she “had such bad anxiety because they kept changing the script. “It’s very hard to be a guest star because you’re not a part of it, and you’re really trying to figure it all out,” she added.
The role was later recast, with Jana Marie Hupp appearing in the final episode of season two, “The One with Barry and Mindy’s Wedding.” “When they asked me to come back, I said I couldn’t,” Grey said. “They got someone else to play the role. It makes me sad that I would say no to continuing on Friends…because of my anxiety. The truth is, I wished I had people to help me navigate that kind of fear. But I couldn’t be there until I was there.
